Lick Observatory Coude Auxiliary Telescope Time CoverSheet Form

University of California Observatories / Lick Observatory

Coude Auxiliary Telescope Observing Time Form for proposal CoverSheet

This on-line form generates the CoverSheet of a proposal for Coude Auxiliary time. Only proposal CoverSheets generated using the online forms will be considered by the TAC. Complete the form on-line, review it in the web browser, make corrections as needed, and submit the completed form. The submission will return a CoverSheetId for that proposal. Create a PDF file containing the scientific justification. Follow the links to the proposal submission web page, and submit the proposal to go with the proposal CoverSheet. N.B. Creating a proposal CoverSheet and submitting the scientific justification are separate steps. A scientific proposal is not complete unless both steps are performed.

The active semester is 2025A.
The Executive Assistant to the Director <assistant@ucolick.org> can control the above setting and can also answer other questions about the proposal process.

The active semester 2025A is for the NORMAL process of Coude Auxiliary submission, review, and time assignment for proposals that will be evaluated based on scientific merit.
Under special circumstances pre-approved by the Assistant Director in charge of Coude Auxiliary, LATE additions for the current semester 2024B may still be possible.
(The RESERVED semester options allow scheduling of Coude Auxiliary for special events farther into the future.)
In order to be added to the schedule all of these require the submission of a CoverSheet.
